2 Days Budget Zhangjiajie Mini Group Tour

This morning, your tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your self-booked hotel at the pre-planned time, around 7:00 to 8:00, and then accompany you on a short ride to Tianmen Mountain, honored as the very soul of Zhangjiajie. 

► Notes: 
1. Rest assured that the specific pick-up time will be confirmed by the guide with you one day in advance via phone, email, or the hotel reception. And our pick-up service is available from hotels near the East Gate of Zhangjiajie Forest Park in Wulingyuan District and also in downtown Zhangjiajie.
2. As one of the most popular tourist cities in China, Zhangjiajie can be very crowded during the peak seasons, especially during Chinese holidays. We would be remiss if we didn’t remind you of the possibility of long queues at entrances, shuttle buses between spots, cable cars, and elevators in all scenic areas. Besides, you may need to stand on the shuttle buses of the park if there are no seats available. Thank you for your understanding.
Feel free to contact us whenever you have any questions about the itinerary.Upon arrival, take in its most iconic sight, the Tianmen Cave, which seems like a mysterious portal to the immortal realm carved by nature halfway up the mountain, bringing you an overwhelming visual impact and a spiritual shock. Especially in the early morning on a sunny day after rain, when the clouds and mist swirl in this giant natural cave, you can’t help but have infinite reveries to the wonderland behind. On its right side, you’ll find a grotesque stone pillar, whose shape resembles an old man standing tall and straight against the sheer cliff, and legend has it that it was incarnated by Guiguzi, a famous strategist from the 4th century BC who once practiced Taoism here, to protect the divine cave from being invaded by evil spirits. Thanks to the 7-level escalator, you can also shuttle between the cave and the mountaintop effortlessly. At the summit, when walking along the Fairland Corridor, which is also romantically called ‘Lover Bridge’ as sightseers often make love vows here. Watching the mountains on both sides looming in the sea of clouds, you’ll feel yourself gradually sinking into the embrace of nature. Expect something more thrilling? Get your adrenaline pumping on the Glass Skywalk (shoe covers included), which is like a transparent ribbon hanging on a cliff as high as a 400-story building. Also, what will surprise you is the world’s longest cableway, allowing you to enjoy karst cliffs, virgin forests, rural scenery, and cityscapes simultaneously in 28 minutes.

In the afternoon, let’s make our way to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. With its undulating peaks, gurgling streams, and dense vegetation, it is a natural oxygen bar gifted by nature to wayfarers from all over the world. With your guide, head straight for the most celebrated Glass Bridge, the longest and highest one in the world that spans across the canyon. The deck is composed of 99 pieces of tempered glass, each of which is thick enough to support an astonishing 800 people at a time. Standing on the 300-meter-high (984-feet-high) transparent bridge, with a chasm that seems to have been cut by an axe beneath your feet, and only the howling mountain wind and the accelerating heartbeat in your ears, you’ll feel as if you have traveled into a scene from a science fiction movie. Looking down through the glass, the quartz sandstone layers formed 1.2 billion years ago will present golden wavy textures under the refraction of sunlight, which are the real traces of the Earth's ‘breathing’. Further down, there is a surge of green, the canopies of the soaring leafy trees, gently swaying in the wind. How pleasant the view is! After stepping off the bridge, we will escort you back to the hotel. Have a good rest!
